Qualifications Matter
There has been a
concerted effort to place a greater emphasis on price-based bidding of engineering services, in which cost would be a significant factor in determining the firm awarded a given contract. Focusing on short-term cost-savings results in less qualified bidders securing contracts for projects that, if completed without the proper expertise, can cause property damage, bodily harm, and prohibitive long-term costs. NSPE recognizes that Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS) ensures that qualified engineering firms are ranked on the basis of their design ability, experience, and judgment, to provide these services.
As more legislators and regulators take action on the procurement of engineering services, NSPE is dedicated to promoting and protecting Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS). To ensure information on the importance of QBS to engineering and the public is widely available, NSPE is hosting a
free webinar on the topic.
